The 26th annual Bruin Scholarship Open, held Sept. 8, 2023, at Binder Park Golf Course in Battle Creek, was a tremendous success, with a record $137,000 raised from 132 sponsors and 238 golfers to support the KCC Foundation Scholarship Program.
Since 1998, the Bruin Open has raised more than $1.7 million to help support hundreds of students pursue their educational goals. Much appreciation goes to the sponsors, KCC employees, student scholars, student-athletes and volunteers who each year make this one of the best one-day events of its kind in the region.
We are already looking forward to next Bruin Scholarship Open on Friday, Sept. 6, 2024!
